lol can't tell you how many times I've almost pee'd my pants because someone with bright blue HIDs will be behind me and I'll hit a bump and the wing will make it look like the lights are flashing..

I think I'm removing it on my lunch break. wtf

Despite the mediocre rear visibility, I love my wing.

The only cons of a big wing are that you cant see jack looking out the rear window. Makes executing J-turns a bit weirdin the beginning. And IMO the car doesn't look that great from the side. I love the big wing from all other angles though.
Small wing does not look bad but i prefer the big wing.

I love the big wing look. I have thought about the do-luck trunk before but I am very content with my trunk/wing and would rather save up for other "go-fast" mods. I hate the small wing that was on the '08 &'10's non-SSS.

If my g/f gets this se were striving for, it will remain wingless. The small lip will be just fine for her!

I'm going to take the wing off this spring. The blind spots are bad enough already in these cars, the big wing blocking most of my rearview mirror is just a little annoying at some times. Plus I think X's look better without a wing, IMO.

I have both, switch back and forth every few months when I get tired of the look.

2 different trunk lids or do you plug the holes left from the wing?

Dealer tried selling me my evo without the SSS package. I told them SSS package or no deal. To me, the wing is what sets me apart from regular lancers, letting people know, "oh, this guy has got an evo!"

Lately I've been seeing a lot of lancers painting their front bumpers black to match the evo. Bleh... I even saw one with a evo wing. Whatevs I guess.

as long as its not the time attack wing the evo looks great with or without a wing, but i prefer the x without the wing. personally it looks absolutely idiotic with the time attack wing and makes me feel ashamed that someone driving such a nice car would make the car look trashy and try and act like its functional on the street.

I'm having a case of wing-envy right now... and am really considering the Seibon high wing.
